No, We Can’t Help You Find That Girl You Were Too Scared to Ask Out

At least four or five times a day, we get an email, phone inquiry, comment on our blog, or other form of communication that goes something like this:

I met a girl last night and I didn’t have the courage to ask her for her number. I got the impression she wanted me to ask her out, but unfortunately I missed my opportunity. I don’t know her name, but wanted to see if you could help me find her. We were at the 7:30 p.m. showing of Jurassic World in Park City, Utah. I don’t think it’s going to be such a difficult case.

And 99.7 percent of the time, we’re hearing this from a man trying to find a woman.

About 86.4 percent of the time, they were in a bar, nightclub, or movie theater; the rest of the time they were on vacation in a faraway place.

Most of the time, they don’t even have a name, only a description of the person; and if they do have a name, it’s only a first name.

They usually have a few more details, like “she was from the Midwest somewhere.”
